Unfortunately, I think we can all (or at least many of us) remember times in school (for those who are out) where we did things that the folks back home would find very out of character.
I feel for this girl's family, and the sorrow they will have to live with for the choices that were made.
I also am left wondering, from the article, what other issues of general responsibility (not directly for this incident, of course) the fraternity is not handling or needs help with. The two items mentioned for past sanctions and the civil suit leave the chapter, and the organization as a whole, in bad light. I'm certain there are good people there, and I feel for them too.
Maybe chapters might begin to use their education meetings (ZTA has them, so I am guessing others might too) not just tell members "don't drink irresponsibly", but teach them what alcohol poisoning is, what the symptoms are, and what to do about it. Too many die this way, and it is tragic and unnecessary.
